Says Dr. Dicken Ko, about his patient Thomas Manning, who received the first penis transplant in the United States. The operation has been a success, achieving its "two main objectives: to restore normal-looking genitals and urinary function."

Hormal-looking genitals and restored urinary function might be in the top three. Several years ago when the flak jacket was being extended to protect genitalia I saw a quote from a Marine SGT, "I can line without arms."

Remember the Jake Barnes character in "The Sun Also Rises" was a guy who had been wounded in the war (WWI) and was in love with the nymphomaniac, Lady Brett Ashley. He was either impotent as a result or had his pecker blown off.

This guy can probably have a penile implant once the thing is healed so he can use it for the third function.

I, for one. look forward to the day when Althouse finds more than this one story about cosmetic surgery. It should not be difficult, I get emails in my inbox about the subject of penis enhancement every day.
